SMASH2k17 (aka Ki’s first convention)
Got there at 9am with my friend en0k1z (I never want to get up at 4:30am EVER AGAIN)
Realised I didn’t have enough bandages and forgot scissors so the Dazai cosplay was a fail (I put it together nearly last minute so really)
Got dragged around by en0k1z for a solid hour crying over how pretty all the art was
Met up with friends Token Gay and Jonno (who brought a plastic bag full of bread rolls *will never get over walking up to Jonno with a bag of bread hanging off his backpack with two rolls shoved in his mouth*)
And then met up with Nikki ( @the-ol-razzle-dazazzle ) and OH MY GO D NIIIIIIIIKKKKIIIIIIIIIIII (later met up with Daddy Death Legs Senpai)
We then proceeded to do (not limited to) the following:
Scream Love Live songs at the performances
Be extremely disappointed in a Martial Arts group for using Kpop as their backing music at a Japanese Pop Culture convention and a band for shamelessly self plugging every 5 minutes
en0k1z met her first ever favourite cosplayer, got a photo with him, and got a signed photo card from him too (purest moment at the con oh my god)
Token Gay spent $70 on 4 rings for him and his boyfriend
Daddy Death Legs killed her feet in stilettos (props 2 u DDL, I couldn’t do that)
Jonno terrorised a poor Iida cosplayer (I’m so sorry if you see this that was my friend and I’m SO sorry I didn’t stop him from naruto running across a garden-bed and jumping out of a fucking bush only to land in front of you and ask to race you)
Nikki and I got a photo with THE PRETTIEST Dazai cosplayer (who also had THE suicide manual)
Nikki asked an Atsushi cosplayer with furry paws to commit double suicide with her and received a “Yes.”
And I, oh Ki, I did it. I asked a Bakugo cosplayer to light my ass on fire and asked a Todoroki cosplayer to freeze my leg, thus earning $25 from Nikki (the Bakugo cosplayer was all for my idea, the Todoroki not so much (I interrupted their ice-cream eating) @the-ol-razzle-dazazzle can confirm this is true)
ANYWAY SMASH WAS GREAT AND THANK THE FUCKING LORD IT’S BEING HELD AT THE ICC (LITERALLY MY BACKYARD) NEXT YEAR.
Also I hope Shy Snow Halation Karaoke Guy is having a Good Day you were amazing dude, I couldn’t do that.
